LG G2 EE root and roms - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys
I've just got a LG G2 from EE (UK). I will unlock it first and then I want to root it and flash new rom.
But, I noticed there is no EE (UK) subsections in the forum. Can anyone point me which thread is the right one for me to root my G2 from EE UK?

In settings/about/software, can you see model number D80? and rom software name?

The model number is LG-D802. So I should use 'G2 Android Development (D802)'?

yep..
it's probably sim free too
to root.... ota to latest kitkat, then use towel root and then install SuperSU from the market. Or find the latest ioroot, which is 25 I think, the thread is in the g2 android development section here .. both methods are very easy
then if you want custom recovery for flashing roms just install autorec for your variant, don't use the wrong version. just double check your installing the d802 one. autorec thread is in the development section too.
warning.. golden rule is to never take ota if you have a custom recovery installed, or you will be following one of the more technical threads to unbrick.
note.. these methods are for KitKat.. for jellybean I don't know

Any UK open will work fine.
Just anything that support d802 will work fine.
I'm on tmobile.

Questions about buying Tmobile variant

I'm going to purchase the lg g2 tmobile variant for $398.40 just have a couple of questions. What would be the cheapest place for me to unlock the phone to work on ATT either online or in the Nyc area, Also when it comes to rooting and rom development are all the phones the same or would I be held back by not having the unlocked international version?

The current root tool (ioroot25) doesn't work for the T-Moblie G2 and the only way to root is to flash back to JB, root, install recovery, then user recovery to upgrade to KK.
It seems there is less activity on the T-Mobile specific forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g2

mexican n900w8

Hello all,
Although a very experienced flasher and one point of time used to mod roms for symbian I seemed to be kinda confused of the note 3 i just bought.
I have this variant of note 3 n900w8 probably telcel /tigo and i got via ebay. I bought it cause I heard n900w8 is the best modder friendly device out of the available.options and also I plan to use the same in Canada.
As you can see in the attachement its on android 4.3 and I am planning to update kit kat and root it. Since its a mexican variant and I am.moving to Canada should I flash the canadian rogers/bell stock rom or the telcel one? Also should i root before flashing or not?
Incase Canadian firmware would be okay to flash, will the device work with Indian 2g/3g where I am currently at.
Thank you
Bump !! Any one please ??

Read first the threads in General about the W8, specifically those that talk about the "invulnerable" or "friendly" bootloader.

Will updating/flashing a new rom re-lock my unlocked LG G2 (F320s) ?

Hi all,
I recently bought a Korean version of LG G2 F320S from a friend of mine. I had to get it unlocked so that I can use it outside Korea.
It comes unrooted and is currently running Android KitKat 4.4.2. As I want to explore more, I want to manually update my phone to Lollipop and flash custom roms. But the problem is I am not sure if updating/flashing a complete new rom will make my phone become locked again. Moreover, is CloudyG2 3.3 compatible with my Korean G2 F320s?
Any input is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Did you got it unlocked by the carrier or by any fix too-smart-not-to-pay-a-few-money method?
If you got it unlocked by paying don't think you'll get any errors or relocking. Already tried it with many other phones (htc, Samsung, sony) and never got any errors after paying.
That about compatibility of cloydyfa's Rom is a question I can't tell you for sure, search it in the Q&A thread

afaik, cloudy3.3 was first released for your variant... because korean variants got lp rom first (other variant releases followed few months later)...
to be sure, check the cloudy thread

If you would check some threads there are answers to all of your questions.
1. You can use Odin to flash the 930U firmware on a 930V. The 930U is the unlocked version of the phone that will work on any carrier's network and has no bloatware.
2. The most current update for the 930V is PF2.
3. Google released Android 7 only yesterday so it will not come to Samsung devices for 2 or 3 months at the earliest.

1. A Verizon S7 930V will never be sim locked. No Verizon phone will be sim locked. If paid to have it sim unlocked you were misled. If your phone was sim locked you do not have a Verizon S7.
2. There are a few threads with the information about flashing the 930U firmware. If you cannot find it you did not look very hard. There is a thread a few below this one.

Got an AT&T phone on ebay, LMV350AWM, want to flash brazilian LMV350EAW ROM on it.

Got an AT&T phone on ebay, LMV350AWM, want to flash brazilian LMV350EAW ROM on it.
So guys, the V35 was my dream for months, and finally got an Ebay unit that fit can ship here. It's already coming.
I read that LG imported to Brazil the AT&T version, not the korean, with jut a Br ROM on it.
Will this flash work? need the unlocked bootloader for this ? or just LG software ?
You will save yourself some serious inconvenience by making sure it really is sim unlocked before flashing away from the AT&T rom. You can read about someone else's experience on that here:

Tnx for the link. I've received info that the phone is fully unlocked, and already tested in Brazilian carriers. The previous owner already lived here and used the phone here with no issues. Will keep reading about it nonetheless
Hi mate, I also got an AT&T from USA, (I live in Spain) and I flashed V350AWMH10a_05_TCL_MX_OP_0124.kdz ROM from mexican carrier Telcel.
I use patched LGUP, and it works fine. No unlock bootloader needed.
Also is an Oreo ROM, not Pie, but I prefer, because Pie Roms had problems with call recorders app.
